[3][4] On November 7, 1918, The Times published an erroneous dispatch from the United Press Association announcing that the ongoing war had ceased and an armistice was to be signed later in the day.
The dispatch was actually reporting on a temporary ceasefire while German delegates arrived in Paris to negotiate an armistice, which was reached five days later.
The article triggered celebrations in the city, including the hoisting of a wooden coffin for Kaiser Wilhelm II, and continued into the night despite the dispatch being rescinded.
[5] The newspaper was owned by the Marsh family until 1964, when it was sold to future state representative Simeon R. Wilson, owner and publisher of the Marysville Globe.
[7][8] Sound Publishing suspended printing of several newspapers, including the Globe and Times, in March 2020 due to the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
